Back to school

It's official, school has started back and it's so weird to be a carpool mom...summer flew by, I blinked and it was over and now we are adjusting to this new normal, a new schedule, new friends, new routines, new bedtimes, new wake times (getting up when its still dark sucks) new nap times, you get where I'm going with this. Schedules with kids is like a revolving door, constant motion, never stopping, round and round, constantly adjusting. I'm starting to kinda believe that if I can handle the change and adjustments with grace then maybe just maybe my kids will acclimate a little easier. If I don't fret the small stuff then it could possibly help them roll with the punches and have a happy heart no matter if the revolving door takes em out. I desperately want to set that kind of example in hopes that my kiddos will follow suit. Receive Grace, Give Grace, Repeat Daily, or in our case moment by moment!

Change is good, hard but good and in about 2 weeks we'll do it all again when the 2 littles start school and then again in a couple months when we move and yet again for holidays and breaks, etc etc...change is a sure thing, but thankfully, there is one thing that never changes, Jesus is the same always. His love never stops, It is continuous, all around us, perfect, unchanging.

I'm holding fast and just riding this revolving door...

"So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching. "
